First up, I have to say, don’t rent this place for less than one month. There are signs all over the place which tell you that it is not legal, REGARDLESS of what the host says. There are plenty of legitimate hosts out there who will tell you the truth. Secondly, the apartment I was given was NOT the apartment shown in the photos. Granted, it was similar, but definitely not the same. My view out the window was of a rather dirty balcony with a clothes horse on it so large you couldn’t go onto the balcony. Secondly, there was a bad smell emanating from the air conditioner. In addition, there were rodent droppings in the kitchen area when I came home after being out in the neighbourhood. When I checked in, dishes were in the drainer. The check in was not that good and lots of hassle about vaccination status and SHA certification (which is not required at any hotel). The lady who checked me in was quite abrupt and also tried to get me to sign a lease for one month, which I refused. I originally inquired about one month but booked for three days to see how I liked the apartment as I have been caught before. Then I needed to request a change to two days only. The host refused at first, until I involved Airbnb. Then I had to explain (unfairly I felt) why I had to change (medical reason) and provide evidence to support my case. Only then did they agree. I have had very few bad experiences with Airbnb, as I joined the company whilst travelling through Asia many years ago. However, Airbnb is now not about community. It’s about business. My case manager didn’t care that the host was breaking local laws, it seemed to me. In any case, it left a very sour taste in my mouth. To that end I have paused my hosting (Superhost), and won’t be making any further bookings in the country I am in now, and perhaps not again ever. Airbnb need to clean up their hosts and get back to COMMUNITY hosting, not shonky real estate agents trying to scam genuine Airbnb members. This is my opinion based on my last visit.
